Question

on a hot day in Delhi, a Diesel truck was loaded with 1000litres of fuel . this truck delivered the fuel to the station in Siachen glacier where temperature was 60°c lower than that in Delhi . What is thevolume of diesel delivered there? The coefficient of volume expansion for diesel fuel is9.5×10-4?​

Answer 1

Answer:

943 liters

Explanation:

Volumetric expansion formula is given by :

Change in volume = k × initial volume × Change in Temperature.

k = The coefficient of diesel expansion

Change in temperature = - 60 since the temperature in Siachen is lower.

Initial volume = 1000 liters

Change in volume =

1000 × - 60 × 9.5 × 10^-4 = - 57 liters

The volume of Diesel in Siechen is given by :

1000 - 57 = 943 Liters

This is the volume of Diesel when it reaches Siechen station.
